About UsWe want to help you find your Ireland Ancestors. We want to make it easy, and we want to enjoy a similar process along with you. This site is intended for the newcommer including those who seek an introduction to Genealogy, a fancy word for family history. We particularly welcome those who believe they have a heritage from Ireland. We also hope to help those who have started but might need the assistance of a methodical approach, a helping hand to navigate those steps and thought processes that are the true building blocks of ancestral research. We are also developing tools for ongoing research. Isn't there another website that already has everything? There are the mega-sites, and there are the many sites. But if you really want to step back and catch the vision of a fresh approach to our common obstacles, if you want to participate in a community that needs all the help it can get, and if you can envision the power of the internet and not technocrats, then we want to network with you.
We have exciting ideas and want to share them with you. We want to see records available to facilitate our search in multiple forms. We want to benefit from the information age without information overload, and without going broke. We hope to refer you to the resources of the "Irish Diaspora" as well as our "relatives" back "Home". This is our ancestor quest, a virtual "nest", a place to grow in our heritage, to discovery in how many ways We are the Children of Ireland.
